But the current trying to keep 90+ guys should be over. In fact I would say large recruiting classes should be done as well. Go after the 15 on your big board that you consider can't miss. Then fill out the rest via portal acquisition. This way the 15 you want get a bigger slice of the pie, and you can pay out more for proven production.

NFL teams have 56 man rosters and they play more games. The bygone days of getting adults to be here for 3 years before they get their "turn" is long gone. The mindset needs to shift, just like fans panicking about players leaving and whining about how there is no loyalty. When the only loyalty there ever is and has been is the Almighty dollar.

Just like in the real world, there is no loyalty from companies, corporations, or jobs in general. College football is a professional sport, whether you like it or not. And don't even start on academics, none of the players actually do any of the work themselves, they have tutors and aids that basically do everything for them.
